There is support for multiple RNG streams with the
"L'Ecuyer-CMRG" RNG: see nextRNGStream
.
It contains functionality derived from and pretty much equivalent to
that contained in packages \href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=#1}{\pkg{#1}}multicoremulticore (with some low-level
functions renamed and not exported) and \href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=#1}{\pkg{#1}}snowsnow (for socket
clusters only, but MPI and NWS clusters generated by
\href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=#1}{\pkg{#1}}snowsnow are also supported). This package also provides
makeForkCluster
.
For a complete list of exported functions, use
library(help = "parallel")
.
psnice
and pskill
in package tools
provide means to manage such processes.
